Travels of the Thantir

Galyn grunted as the to fledgling Decay Lords burst into the room behind him. He was in the middle of going through flight apparatus with Arkay, making sure he as learning the ship’s instruments correctly, so this sudden interruption was not particularly nice. But since Retvik and Litvir both seemed rather concerned, he knew better … Read more

The third observatory on the Thantir Two was weirdly small and, more weirdly, very rarely used. Since most of the ship was now empty and free from more bossy Decay Lords, Litvir and Retvik were now sitting around in the third observatory, wondering why it had been locked the entire time. As far as they … Read more

Galyn stood proudly in the cockpit, standing before a fancy table. On the table, a glowing, holographic grid hovered, mostly flat aside from a couple of odd circles and lumps here and there. With a smile, he greeted the three young Decay Lords who had just entered the room. “Huh, you redecorated rather quickly!” Retvik … Read more

Arkay sighed as he rolled over, twisting in his sheets, trying to find a comfortable position. For some reason, he just couldn’t seem to sleep properly. Little things were keeping him up, errant thoughts that simply couldn’t wait until he was supposed to be awake. As Arkay’s arm slipped off the edge of the bed … Read more

“So, let me get this straight. You want to stay here and help these three Decaylings become proper Decay Lords. You would rather spend your time training them and teaching them, than spend your time in retirement with your two closest friends?” Galyn nodded. “You want to remain out here, in the mediocre, rarely navigated … Read more

“You don’t seem right.” The Thantir Two was currently docked at a Life Oasis, where Life Goddesses were busy getting drunk and partying. It wasn’t at all a place for Decay Lords, but it was the only local market around, and the Thantir needed a few supplies that they couldn’t have teleported in. While Itaviir … Read more

Litvir, Retvik and Arkay all sat patiently, sipping chocolate milk from plastic glasses, as they watched Galyn pace up and down. The Decaylings had been very much aware that something was going on with their bosses, but none of them were sure exactly what. The way Galyn was pacing though didn’t inspire them with much … Read more

“I swear, they are fucking with us on purpose!” Arkay had never seen Galyn so angry. He had just been sneaking by to the kitchen when he’d caught a glimpse inside Itaviir’s office, where the three elder Decay Lords were quite busy arguing and clearly not paying attention to the slightly ajar door. Normally, Arkay … Read more

“You fascinate me.” Litvir had been hovering around for a while, watching Arkay as he studied. Arkay had only partially been paying attention, but Litvir’s most recent statement changed that. “Me? Fascinating you?” Arkay swung his chair round, leaving his books and work to one side. It wasn’t particularly important anyway, not right now. “Yes, … Read more

“So, what did you actually do?” Arkay gasped as he nearly fell backwards, grabbing the arm of his chair with his free hand. As soon as Arkay was certain he wasn’t going to hurt himself, he immediately turned to the being in the doorway who had interrupted him. “Do you not fucking know how to … Read more

“Good evening, little ones!” Vikalos smiled as he walked into the room, holding three folders. He knew that the young Decay Lords would all be together, so he was taking advantage of this time. “Hi,” Arkay awkwardly waved back, swallowing his bite of sandwich. “We’re kinda eating right now.” “I know. Which is why this … Read more

“When I became a Decayling, I never thought I’d end up with some sort of elemental bias…” Arkay muttered, flicking a small globule of darkness between his fingers. The three young, new Decay Lords had been rather idle over the last 24 hours. Between napping and eating, they had mostly been attempting to regain their … Read more
